National forest toilet? The truth is, I didn't even know trees *needed* toilets.

Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Sanitation workers cleaning out a vault toilet in the Flathead National Forest in Montana said they found a "poop-soaked phone" at the bottom of the toilet tank and were shocked to discover it still works.
Tracy Kau of A-1 Sanitation said he and his team were cleaning out the tank of the vault toilet near Holland Lake when he spotted the iPhone 11 Pro at the bottom.
"I was kind of in shock. I was like 'Whoa, there's a phone,'" Kau told KRTV. "We tried to not just suck it up or whatever, and then we went to get the grabbers. We have some grabbers that can grab like bottles and stuff, Cody grabbed it out."
Kau and his teammates, Cody Evert and Tanner Stevenson, sanitized the phone, plugged it in and were shocked to discover it still worked.
The men said they were unable to get any information from the phone because the screen was locked, and employees at Verizon and Apple said they were unable to access the information on the device without the owner's permission.
Kau said the team was finally able to get some identifying information by popping the device's SIM card into another phone.
They left a voicemail for the phone's owner, a Helena resident.
"When she finally called me back, I told her who I was, told her we found this phone in the Forest Service vault, and her initial reaction was, 'Well, you guys must have to pump out toilets because that's the last place I saw that phone,'" Stevenson said. "She was pretty shocked that we actually ended up retrieving the phone and that it worked enough to get her information off of it."
A-1 Sanitation said in a Facebook post that the "poop-soaked phone is on its way home."

Winner! That’s what it got at the bottom of that chemical toilet. . .
Well, it reminded me of a incident that happened when I was in the Marines, around 45 years ago:
There was a Marine in my unit, named ‘Pat’, that was an impeccable dresser, both in uniform and in civvies. You might say he was a ‘Preppy’ before being Preppy was popular. He prided himself on his clothing and was not averse to criticizing others for theirs.
One day, he was doing some office duty that required him to wear the UD office uniform instead of the Utility uniform we normally wear for work. Part of this uniform is a head cover called oficially a ‘Garrison Cap’ but Marine slang calls a ‘pisscutter’.
When not worn while indoors, unless armed, the cap is usually tucked under the belt and lays flat until needed to be used again.
Well, apparently Pat had consumed some bad chow at some point and had a bad case of diarrhea that morning. So off to the ‘head’ he went at a rather quick pace.
A little while later we heard a scream followed by a string of cuss words that would make a sailor blush!
We all rushed into the head to see what had happened and there was Pat fishing his pisscutter out of the toilet where it had fallen when he undid his belt and had crapped all over it!.......................
It was a million to one shot, Doc -

Now that’s butt dialing.
I remember that episode. He should have thrown the toothbrush away and gotten the girlfriend a new one!
Craptastic!
One can tell most people here never worked on a farm.
Water and soap cleans crap off all kinds of things the used again.
I’m wondering what cover was over the phone that protected it so well.
A local archaeologist here would target locations of old privies to dig. People lose all kinds of things there. I believe he found guns, coins , tools.
Those concrete Forest Service or State Park toilets...
The smell coming out of some of them would gag a maggot.
I have used them and made doubly sure when I was in there that things like my phone, keys, or wallet would NOT fall in.
Ah. The Unflushables. One of the worst things about camping when I was a kid.
Pooped out...but not dead!

Life imitates art? In the German movie “Gold,” a man on an expedition to the Canadian Klondike gold fields takes off all his clothes and goes off to die in the woods.
Yea, you can keep it.
During the Big Dig in Boston, workers found the remains of an Colonial-era latrine, and it cost the taxpayers $3.5M while that area’s work was halted and the archaeologists rushed in for a period.
Broken plates and the like were about the only things that survived.
